Spring at Last!? Please accept my apologies for the delay in getting this month’s newsletter out. There apparently is a respiratory bug going around the Chelsea area, and it seems to have found me. One of the side-affects appears to be difficulty in thinking from one side of the brain to the other for extended periods (more than two minutes!), …
I don’t know about you, but I could really use some sunshine right about now. All this rain makes doing things in my yard very difficult – I can’t get the grass mowed, or plant some trees that I bought, because the ground is so waterlogged! It’s adding to the many tasks I have to do, since I was already …
The outlook for the weather this spring seems somewhat promising for Southeast Michigan: the national weather forecasters are saying that April, May, and June have a slightly higher chance of it being both warmer and wetter than normal. I’m all for the warmer – I’m anxious to get into my gardens! – but wetter isn’t always better at this time …

Boy, did we have a serious case of weather whiplash between November and December! November was one of the coldest on record around here, and then area had approximately 10 inches less of snow than normal in December, and was above average in temps. And have you been listening to the reports for the next few weeks? “They” are saying …
First – my apologies for the lack of a November newsletter. Late October and early November came and went in a whirlwind of activity, and there just weren’t enough hours in any given day for me to get it done, and actually give it the meaningful time it requires for it to be relevant to you. Had I done a …
The Old Farmers Almanac is saying that we can expect to have snow the week of Halloween! Sorry about that. I had just read that little tidbit, and couldn’t contain myself! Although I was certainly ready to see the end of the hot, humid weather, I am not ready to see snow. I would like a whole lot of nice, …
